At least 28 people, including four policemen, were wounded after clashes broke out on Monday between students and law enforcers during a protest held against the alleged rape of a college girl in Lahore.
According to Rescue 1122 officials, the injured were given first aid after the clash. The incident took place outside a private college in Lahore’s Gulberg area.
A security guard of the college was arrested recently after reports related to the alleged rape of the student went viral on social media platforms.
Addressing a press conference today, Lahore Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Operations Faisal Kamran said that they were investigating the incident of alleged rape of a student.
The police officer said he visited the private college’s Gulberg campus and questioned everybody about the incident, adding that none of them had the correct information.
“Nobody reported the incident so far.”

“The victim girl and her family did not come forward,” the spokesperson said, adding that the concerned police station or the college administration was also not informed by anyone about the incident.
